[<CommonParameters>] Description
This cmdlet creates a new Auto Apply Drivers step object. Then use the Add-CMTaskSequenceStep cmdlet to add the step to a task sequence. For more information on this step, see About task sequence steps: Auto Apply Drivers.
Note
Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.
Examples
Example 1
This example first uses the Get-CMCategory cmdlet to get the category of Surface drivers. The next line creates an object for the Auto Apply Drivers step that installs all compatible drivers from those in the Surface drivers category. It then gets a task sequence object, and adds this new step to the task sequence at index 11.
$category = Get-CMCategory -CategoryType DriverCategories -Name "Surface"
$step = New-CMTSStepAutoApplyDriver -Name "Auto Apply Drivers" -DriverCategory $category -InstallDriverOption InstallAllCompatible
$tsNameOsd = "Default OS deployment"
$tsOsd = Get-CMTaskSequence -Name $tsNameOsd -Fast
$tsOsd | Add-CMTaskSequenceStep -Step $step -InsertStepStartIndex 11Parameters
-AllowUnsignedDriver
Add this parameter to allow Windows to install drivers without a digital signature.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Condition
Specify a condition object to use with this step. To get this object, use one of the task sequence condition cmdlets. For example, Get-CMTSStepConditionVariable.
| Type: | IResultObject[] |
| Aliases: | Conditions |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Aliases: | cf |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ContinueOnError
Add this parameter to enable the step option Continue on error. When you enable this option, if the step fails, the task sequence continues.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Description
Specify an optional description for this task sequence step.
| Type: | String |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Disable
Add this parameter to disable this task sequence step.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Aliases: | DisableThisStep |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-DisableWildcardHandling
This parameter treats wildcard characters as literal character values. You can't combine it with ForceWildcardHandling.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-DriverCategory
Specify one or more driver category objects, to limit driver matching to only consider drivers in the selected categories. To get this object, use the Get-CMCategory cmdlet with -CategoryType DriverCategories.
| Type: | IResultObject[] |
| Aliases: | DriverCategories |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-ForceWildcardHandling
This parameter processes wildcard characters and may lead to unexpected behavior (not recommended). You can't combine it with DisableWildcardHandling.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-InstallDriverOption
Specify how this step behaves:
BestMatch: Install only the best matched compatible drivers.InstallAllCompatible: Installs all drivers compatible for each detected hardware device.
| Type: | InstallDriverType |
| Accepted values: | BestMatch, InstallAllCompatible |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-Name
Specify a name for this step to identify it in the task sequence.
| Type: | String |
| Aliases: | StepName |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | True |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
-WhatIf
Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet doesn't run.
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Aliases: | wi |
| Position: | Named |
| Default value: | None |
| Required: | False |
| Accept pipeline input: | False |
| Accept wildcard characters: | False |
